A dramatic battle which is widely considered Robert E. Lee's greatest victory, the battle of Chancellorsville was one of the most confusing and costly of the entire war. Between the wounding of General Stonewall Jackson and the loss of troops, was what Lee lost worth what he gained?

The opening engagement of the pivotal Overland Campaign, this was the first time Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee met each other on a field of battle. Fought in a wild, dense forest region known as the Wilderness, the hard fighting and frightening landscape left its mark upon the soldiers and generals who clashed here.

A nearly two-week engagement on the heels of the fighting in the Wilderness, the Battle of Spotsylvania Court House included some of the most intense and destructive fighting of the war. Most famous was the twenty-two hours of hand-to-hand combat at the Bloody Angle.
